With its impressive real-wood smokehouse, and its choice of original and comforting meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the new Pork & Pickle restaurant offers a warm and cozy food experience in the Domestic Area.
Overall, Pork & Pickle at the Montreal airport draws mixed reviews, with some travelers praising fast service, attentive staff, and standout dishes like spicy wings, pulled pork, and a remarkable Dirty Mac and Cheese, while others report rude or distracted service, incorrect orders, and high prices that feel typical for an airport. Food quality ranges from delicious and well seasoned brisket or smoky elements to disappointing portions, dry brisket, cold bites, or missing sides, with several mentions of meals arriving quickly but not always to expectations. The airport setting is a common theme: convenient for a layover and offering a lively beer and bar style ambiance, plus TV coverage that travelers enjoy, yet the price tag and occasional inconsistency temper the overall experience. Beverage service is noted as variable, from welcome refills and friendly bartenders to missing items like Coke Zero or decaf coffee, and several diners emphasize that service quality can swing with busyness. Despite the uneven notes, many guests consider it one of the better airport dining options, valuing quick, friendly service and the ability to grab a hearty meal before boarding.
Food looks great, tastes bad. Service is really, really slow. Crazily expensive, even though I've had better Caesars at drive bars & better poutine at fast food places. Nice view. 100% don't recommend
It was overpriced, as is kind of expected at an airport, but for a sit down restaurant I was hoping for a little better quality food.
I ordered the chicken rice bowl, & they forgot the avocado on top. We asked for some, & someone other than our server brought it for us-without any apologies-wearing a suit. Contrasted with our very friendly server, this felt off.
The dish still tasted good, though the thin piece of chicken should have been bigger (it was about ?-¼ of a chicken breast) especially for the price. We also noticed that the plating was a little messy.
Our service was generally very fast, especially as our server seemed to have four tables all come around the same time! That is not easy. The restaurant was mostly full when we were eating.

Took the brisket, it's ok, not more, definitely not worth the price. My girlfriend took a burger, just ok. The sides (cheesy fries & greens) were just sad! Service was ok, but minimum tipping option was 18%. I would have gave 18-20, but any place that doesn't even present the minimum of 15% as an option doesn't deserve my business.
Great spot to eat & we had a long layover & our server was the best & I forget his name but laughed with me & my wife & kids the whole time & treated us great
I wish I knew his name he got off at 6pm tonight hahaha
Hands down the worst brisket I've ever had. I'm assuming they didn't get the internal temp anywhere near 203 f (95 c), probably topped it out at 170 f (77 c) at most & did a faster cook. 1/3 of the brisket pieces I was basically fat & there was no visible smoke ring at all. My fault for ordering brisket at an airport, but it sounded when I read it on the menu. On the plus side, the beans & slaw were amazing & the service was pretty good!
I ordered the Smokehouse Burger - the serving & taste were good! However, I didn't enjoy the fries as they were a bit bland & soggy. The server was friendly & attentive, which I appreciated. I did notice that the table hadn't been properly wiped down. Overall, I enjoyed my meal while waiting for my flight. ✈?🧳🛫
Ribs were super dry, brisket was ok nothing to justify a 30$ + a plate.
Tomatoe sauce on the ribs & brisket? Why? Also you don't need to introduce yourself everytime you come to the table...

The smoked brisket was good, a tiny bit on the salty side, but for airport food & portion it was decent. The host/manager was really nice; however the server was rude.
I had come to eat with a friend who already had a takeout container of food & before we were seated, I double checked with the host that it was okay for my friend to sit & eat with me in the restaurant. He said it was okay because I would be ordering. The server came up to kick us out when she saw my friend eating when I explained how the host had said it was fine for us to have outside food as i would be ordering, she took my order. Things took a turn when she was putting down my food & especially when she was taking away my plate. She snatched it away & didn't ask if I wanted anything else or if I was ready for the bill. She came back with the bill immediately which was fine as I was ready to leave but it was unreasonably rude. I could tell she did not like us because she treated the couple that was seated next to us super nicely, wished them to have a good flight etc. maybe it's because we looked younger or maybe it's because we aren't Caucasian 🤷🏻?♀?
Atmosphere was nice because it was fairly empty.

Went here yesterday in between flights & got the brisket poutine. Food was very good, service was quick & I was happy to be mainly left alone by the server. Would come here again.
Arguably one of the nicest servers I've ever had, George brought his A game even at the killer time of 5:30 in the morning. My crew & I were way beyond tired & ready to go home, & yet he brought our spirits up through his authentic & helpful energy. Everything he did & said for us was so far in our best interest, he was awesome! The food was also so delicious, it was exactly what I needed before a long flight home.
